we got a viable conservative party - the Tea Party. Start donating and attending meetings in your area. It will grow rapidly once completely free of the GOP. Push Cruz and Palin as Pres/VP candidates. We will at least destroy the GOPe. That should be the main goal of all conservatives now. The complete and utter destruction of the “grand old party” of closested asses (dems).

I voted for the Constitution Party presidential candidates in 2004 & ‘08. I thought that Bush and McCain were too liberal, and I knew that he’d lose my state, Illinois.

"we got a viable conservative party - the Tea Party. Start donating and attending meetings in your area. It will grow rapidly once completely free of the GOP."

I have a question? There are different groups within the Tea Party. Will they ever unite?

What do Freepers think of the Tea Party Express, the Tea Party Patriots and other Tea Party groups? What is the best way to unite this movement? The IRS destroyed the growth of the Tea Party, but I think the Republicans also helped to keep the party down. Also, well-meaning people tried to get involved, but didn't have organizational skills. If we really want a viable third party, we need to plan and organize.

Spoken like a true troll.

The Tea Party has managed to infiltrate the GOPe and is starting to show real results. Both the GOPe and the Marxists are worried about us. We haven't reached a tipping point yet, but we are getting there. Why would we change something that is working to initiate a political party. We would be joining the:

American Independent Party
Americans Elect Party
Green Party
Libertarian Party
Peace and Freedom Party

Who side are you on anyway? The Marxists or the GOPe?

No "third party" will ever make a ripple in oresidnetial politics until it has an established grass roots organization. If conservatives really want to run against both the 'rats and gopers, they should immediately begin to create a real, not a virtual, party and run candidates for local office--school boards, town and city councils, county commissions. Then seats in the statehouse. Then Congress.

It will mean a long march in the wilderness and many lean years. But it will save a Nation.

Trouble is, in the year 2014 Americans do not want to make a lifelong commitment, they want a solution by the end of the TV miniseries.
